I caught the hi-lights show and watched these two great climbers battle up one of the toughest mountains in this Tour.

Unfortunately the gap between Schleck and Contadore did not change. I would have liked it if Andy had gained 30-40 seconds on him, if nothing to create some more tension.

It's been a great Tour and maybe it's the cleanest every as we have seen people struggling and others have a surge of form. It's been great, and whoever wins come Saturday evening will bave become a worthy Champion.
